The McGee Family

Our Story

Faith. Family. Forever.

Family Mission Statement
"To build a home rooted in faith, filled with love, and worthy of passing down."

We are Ben, Brittney, Levi, and Baby McGee β€” a blended family held together by God, growing together in Queen Creek, Arizona. We don't do things perfectly. We do them on purpose.

What We Stand On

Our Values

✝️
Faith First

We are Christians who attend Redemption Tempe. We believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and that salvation is through faith alone β€” not by works, but by grace. All of life is all for Jesus.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦
Family Always

Our family didn't look like most from the start β€” and that's exactly what makes it ours. Ben chose Levi. Brittney chose Ben. And together we're building something that belongs to all of us. No one gets left behind.

πŸ—οΈ
Build Intentionally

Every decision β€” financial, professional, personal β€” is made with purpose and a long view. We save with intention. We invest in each other. We don't drift. We build.

πŸ’ͺ
Stay Strong

Physical fitness and structured nutrition aren't hobbies β€” they're how we show up fully for each other. A strong family starts with strong individuals.

🌱
Keep Growing

Ben is completing his BA at ASU. Levi starts 2nd grade in the fall. Baby McGee is due in September. Growth isn't optional in the McGee house β€” it's the culture.

πŸ”₯
Enjoy the Journey

Camping, pickleball, cooking together, game nights, walks with Phoenix β€” we don't wait for life to start. We're living it right now. Every ordinary Tuesday counts.

How We Got Here

The McGee Timeline

Early 2022
A Bumble match, a lot of patience 🀠

Brittney makes the first move on Bumble. Ben suggests dinner. No response. A double date. She backs out. A hot air balloon ride. Silence. Ben waits. "If it's meant to happen, it will."

October 21, 2022
The Buffalo Chip Saloon β€” fate steps in 🍺

Neither planned it. Both ended up at the Buffalo Chip Saloon in Cave Creek, Arizona β€” the same night, at the same time. Ben saw her walking toward him. It clicked. She said "BEN!" He blurted "BRITTNEY… YOU ARE SO CUTE!" The rest writes itself.

November 20, 2022
Ben meets Levi πŸŽ„

Home sick, 15 minutes away, Ben took an espresso shot and drove to the Enchanted Christmas Event in Scottsdale to meet a three-year-old. By the end of the night Levi was on his shoulders. Ben drove home knowing exactly where he was supposed to be.

October 30, 2024
The proposal β€” and Bentley πŸ’πŸΎ

Riverview Park. 5:30 PM. Ring in pocket. Matthias in all black with a camera. Brittney venting about work, completely unaware. Bentley spotted the lake and leapt in. Ben yanked a dripping golden retriever out of the water, got down on one knee, and asked. She said "REALLY… REALLY? YES… YES!!"

November 1, 2025
Married in Greer, Arizona πŸ’’

In the mountains of Greer, surrounded by the people they love most, Ben and Brittney became the McGees. Christian ceremony. Mountain air. The beginning of everything.

November 2025
Two weeks in Thailand 🌏

Temples, beaches, night markets, and the best food of their lives. The McGees' first adventure as husband and wife.

Late December 2025
Baby McGee is coming 🌿

Newlyweds and already expecting. The best gift. Due September 4, 2026. Gender is a beautiful surprise.

April 9, 2026
Bentley passes 🐾

Brittney's golden retriever and service animal for 10Β½ years left peacefully. He was there from the beginning β€” through every season, every hard day, the proposal, all of it. His memorial β†’

September 4, 2026
Baby McGee arrives ⏳

The next chapter. Boy or girl β€” we have no idea. Either way, this family just keeps getting bigger and better.
